My brother was in town visiting over the weekend, and as such, I didn’t have any time to update the site or listen to the games on the radio over the weekend, short of a few minutes of the Phillies game on Sunday. Due to that, I won’t be posting my own commentary for said games, but I will do update pages on them.

Game two of our SS DH was played to completion, and it ended with a Rangers win. It’s not on KRLD, so I listened to the Blue Jays feed through MLB.com. While it’s better than nothing, I have to find listening on the radio to non Rangers announcers doesn’t get me all excited about the game, tell you the truth. Normally during a work day, I can’t pay attention to the game because of what I’m doing. Today I could pay attention, and I was bored out of my skull listening to these guys.
Hideki Irabu did pitch three scoreless innings, and the runs we gave up appeared to be of the “bloop” kind. Overall, it reads like a very well pitched game, even though the line doesn’t show it. We had scattered offense, including a home run from a player I’ve never heard of before (Jason Botts).
Nice to get the win – anytime of the year!

Almost a completely perfect game by Kenny Rogers’ outing was definitely the bright spot in this game. Kenny didn’t allow a hit or a run, but unfortunately, there was an error committed behind him, otherwise he would have had a perfect outing. He also struck out three – from the lines and the stories, it seems like Rogers was very much the awesome pitcher.
Couldn’t say the same for Todd Van Poppel & Jay Powell. They weren’t awful, but they did give up some runs – only three between ’em for the four innings they pitched total.
Mike Young & Arod both went 2 for 3. Of course, a lot of this stuff came in the 7 inning second inning we got yesterday. Was a really great looking game on the box score. :)

Rainout. Not a lot to talk about in a rainout. We did get a few innings of the game in, and Chan Ho Park pitched four innings, looking good from what I can read in the online accounts of teh game (as it wasn’t broadcast anywhere).
We were winning 2-1 at the time of the cancellation of the game.

Yankees win. Not much time to write this one, as I’m about to leave for the day, but we didn’t seem to have much of anything going on, except an Arod solo home run – at least not until the 9th when we scored 3 runs, but it wasn’t enough to come back. Oh well. :(

Got in to the office late today after swinging by the Ballpark to buy some artwork from their gallery, as well as picking up an authentic jersey for myself for the new season (didn’t get any specific player, put my own name on there, with the uniform number of 20 – for Mike Schmidt).
Anyway, when I got here, I saw the score was 2-0, and checked the MLB site, and fortunately, the Devil Rays radio folks were broadcasting the game, so I at least got to hear the last couple of innings, which seemed to really fly by in a hurry. The entire game took 2:06, but I suppose when there’s a total of 13 hits the entire game, with the Devil Rays getting only 4, games go fast.
Haven’t seen a box score again at the time I’m writing my summary, but I have to say, it doesn’t matter. No runs allowed by anyone pitching today, and that’s always good. Granted, it’s against the Rays, but as I recall, most of our A players went to play the Yankees today in the other split squad game. Much better pitching then we got yesterday, but I guess that’s the nature of spring training – even more wildness all over the place.
